  • Idk why I didn’t put this together sooner but holy shit your joke made an incredible connection for me.

    My favorite album of all time is likely

    Between The Buried and Me - Colors

    (If you’re unfamiliar, and like progressive death metal, go listen to the whole thing). And on that album, theres the song “Sun of Nothing”

    Lyrics and song here

    It’s… It’s basically about Elon Musk (not actually, but like holy shit). Written in 2008, well before he went to play “spaceman”.

    The song is about an egotistical fuck who thinks they’re better than everyone. It’s a modern day Icarus story. Dude wants to distance himself from everyone he sees as boring, mundane. Straps himself to a (metaphorical) rocket thinking it’s cool and is also his ascension to be a deity, and shoots himself ‘toward the sun.’

    As he goes through with his plan he realizes everything was better before he played spaceman. Yeah his plans were cool and he saw himself as a god and everyone else as pathetic, but now that he’s a spaceman, he’s the god of nothing. Oops.

    "…I’m floating towards the sun…

    The sun of nothing…"

    I don’t think anyone is a “wsl user” so much as they’ve found themselves in a position where the lowest friction solution is utilizing wsl for a given situation.

    Around 2019, even up until like 2022 if you wanted to run docker in windows, that was how to do it.








  • foggy@lemmy.worldtoSelfhosted@lemmy.worldHow do you document your Homelab?

    I operate on the philosophy that it is better for me to relearn things than lean on old documentation that may no longer be accurate/relevant.

    The best way to implement a safe connection to my home lab today might not be the safest way tomorrow.

    Old dog, new tricks, etc.

    Also! Your documentation is an attackers wet dream.

    NB: this philosophy doesn’t scale.


  • Videogames and YouTube reaction vid can both go to the same singular pair of Bluetooth headphones.

    Your partner is not being fair to you. They don’t need to be listening at full volume, either. That’s obnoxious.

    Shit, if I wanna plug my guitar in my huge amp and shred guitar all day, do I just tell my gf to deal with it because I’m depressed and have ADD? No, I use amp simulators and headphones.
